Previously this was provided only as a percentage. Applicants are now required to provide percentages, as well as a narrative which describes the actual time each CI will spend on the project and demonstrates their capacity to fulfil their role in this time. Extensive advice on how to complete this section is available on pages 24-25 of the NHMRC Strategy and Writing Guide (PDF).

NHRMC OPEN ACCESS POLICY FOR PUBLICATIONS ARISING FROM NHMRC RESEARCH FUNDING

NHMRC has added a check box to the CV_pubs section of RGMS.

All Chief Investigators completing the CV_pubs section of RGMS are prompted to indicate whether a publication has been deposited in an open access repository.

Please respond “yes” if:

The publication was the result of research funded by NHMRC,

was published after 1st July 2012 and,

has been loaded into IRMA

The above advice is relevant to all CIAs who have received NHMRC funding administered by the University of Sydney.

CIAs who have published research arising from NHMRC funding since July 2012 but from a grant administered elsewhere, need to confirm open access arrangements with these administering Institutions as they may differ from the University of Sydney.
